The Boneyard: Women's basketball national message board

[Jmsdawg]

I love the BY. The BY is unique among women basketball message boards. All of the other msg boards are what I call rant and rave boards, lots of griping little information. The BY has some very knowledgeable posters who obviously love Women Basketball, not just their team, but the sport. I can go to the BY board and get information on a number of teams. The opinions expressed here are very diverse and well thought out. I recognize this is a UCONN board with most of the posters being UCONN supporters and I greatly appreciate the welcoming of non UCONN women basketball supporters. Thank you, BY!

Thanks! I met some nice and knowledgeable State fans in Columbus. I also have a friend who teaches there. Most people here like Vic. His "piranhas on a roast" quote is legendary.

Thank you. Connecticut is the best state for Women's BB thanks to Geno and Chris And UCONN. Thank you again.

 

[UConn82]

Great to have you on the board. As long as posters are respectful, methinks they can root for anyone. Even Tennessee!

There are some UConn posters and others who are very knowledgeable about WCBB and WBB. I am very lucky and happy to have access to some very intelligent and insightful posts about WBB. Thank you all!!!

And it is visitors like you who help create that 'national' feel on this board.

And it is the moderators who help keep us both somewhat focused and civil in our discourse.

I've said it before. If I had to select an All-Boneyard First Team, it would include several posters who are fans of other teams. They are some of the most informative and good-humored voices here.

So ... thank you for being here! Y'all make this place better.

Would that be five-member team or ten? The three long-time ND supporters would probably make either team.

The BY is fun to chatterbox at but Volnation is just as interesting no lie. The others boards besides rebkell are just dry asf. There 1 more board thats fun but its not appropriate lol

You're welcome. All Vic fans are welcome here, and I'm a big one.

I second the message of JMSDAWG, Miss St U, I am pleased to read many highly knowledgeable postings. Also, among this group of experts is one of the most prolific and diverse message poster with a Mountain of information. The BY has a number of poster with REAL coaching experince, Media types, Internet/Electronic, Educators, Military leaders, so name the subject someone with knowledge will help.
Thanks Mss St U--I too am a Vic fan, his actions and words tend to impress.

Volnation is a homer board that is openly hostile to anything that isn't colored Orange. And regularly posts very nasty stuff about UConn and its fans.

Ha good question. Either way, doesn't change the accuracy of my statement. I'll refrain from naming names just yet but a Notre Dame poster and a Tennessee poster are among my personal top 4.

So true...but it is a pretty entertaining read when they are losing.

Thanks to the OP for the kind words.t One reason I like this board so much is the fact that we get to interact in a positive way with people from other schools.

There are indeed a number of intelligent, insightful, and well informed people who post here. To keep things in balance, I post too.

Welcome and thanks. Great to have other team's fans stopping by to chat and sharing knowledge with us as well. Best wishes this season.

To clarify, "best wishes" means not winning the last game of the season. Boneyarders get a little possessive about that game.

Just hoping we get to play UCONN this season. If either of our team make it to NC I am rooting for that team, if we both make it to NC I will be DAWGS all the way!

And at that point our hospitality ends.

I would like to believe that the BY reflects why the UCONN coaching staff consistently wins: More technical, less emotional. Passionate, still.
Perhaps it's the cold wintery air that hinders emotional fingers. Who knows.

In the South, we call that CLASS!

I always like the music posts in the offseason. Fun times.

Very knowledgeable fans on the BY though. Especially when it comes to recruiting.
